My
research area is paleolimnology, the interpretation of
lake history from sedimentary and paleontological records.
Most of my work to date has involved studies of depositional
environments, paleoecology, and climate history of the
African Rift Lakes and the arid climate lakes of the
western US. I use ostracode paleoecology and sedimentology
as primary tools in the interpretation of lake deposits,
from both outcrops and sediment core records.
Research Projects
I currently have major projects
in the following areas:
Courses
Normally, I teach the following
classes:
- GEOS
302-Principles of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology (Fall)
- GEOS412-Ocean Science (Spring, with J. Cole)
- GEOS 596D-Seminar. I offer seminars annually (usually in
the spring semester) in paleolimnology, alternating every other
year with more specialized subjects to be announced.
